Bring a (Non-member) Friend to a Ride

EBTC encourages members to invite friends to accompany them on a Club ride in the hope that the friends will join EBTC and become active cyclists. The ‘Bring a Friend’ program is guided by the following policy criteria:

• Each member can host multiple guests in a year, including for a single ride/other outdoor activity. Each guest, however, can only participate in one EBTC ride/outdoor activity event in a year.
• Decide well in advance of the ride that you want to bring them. Check out Choosing Your Ride to select an appropriate ride for your friend.
• Click on your ride of interest in our Website Calendar; click on ‘See Full Details’ for the ‘Contact’ name and email link of the Ride Leader.
• The Ride Leader must agree to having the guest(s) at the event. Please give the ride leader sufficient advance notice that you would like to bring a friend. Since the Ride Leader must give their ‘O,K.’, please allow time for email exchanges before registration closes for the ride.
• With the Ride Leader’s O.K., download, print, complete and have your friend(s) sign the Guest Registration and Waiver Form. Bring the form to the ride. There are links below for pdf and docx versions of the form.
• The host member is responsible for their guest(s), e.g., if a guest finds the pace or distance too difficult, the host member is expected to remain with or return with the guest.
